i know everyone tries to paint me as a jaded QC fan, but i think JFK brings up a good point. all summer we were led to believe that this team would be super successful. it seems the only people that posted were long times flames fans who happened to live in the area. that seems to be the only real group that was happy.
i think the flames/canucks issue is a problem. their attendance is pretty piss poor and with it being a new franchise, they should be blowing the roof off the place this year. we heard all about how sweeting had 4,000 season ticket holders lined up, how british columbia was hockey crazy and would support anyone, and how the flames connection wouldn't hurt. yet the attendance numbers just don't seem to back that up. they are in the bottom portion of the league.
